Home. House and Garden.

Home is a sweet word. There IS
music and melody in the very sound
OF it that sinks down into the human
heart with happy. hopeful rhythm
1t seems to sing OF love, contentment'
peace and tranquility; to whisper to the
world-weary of rest; to tho young OF
gayety and freedom; and yet, while the
very sound of the name is pecan TO
human hearts. it is sad to think in how
few of the places people call homes
is found either contentment or peace.
1t is true that love blossoms about
many home hearthstone with its all
pervading fragrance, and there can be
no home without love, and yet love
alone without works is not enough to
make home in any sense home-like.
Some one has forcibly said that to
make q house home. one must I'LL
the inside with love, and surround the
outside with beauty, and that beauty
without will strengthen love within.
The duty of making home not only
comfortable but beautiful and cheerful,
rests with equal force upon both hus-
band and wife, and to 4 lesser degree
on every member of the family. But
to the husband and brothers more par
ticularly belong the work of beautify-
ing the outdoor world directly sur.
rounding it. The expense and the la
Dor requisite to do this is so small in
comparison to the qualification to be
derived. to say nothing of the pleasure
given, with giving that is gaining"
30 friends, and even to the casual pass
er-by, that it seems strange that so ma
ny will let summer after summer pass
without attempting in any way to
brighten the sombre picture of desola-
ton at their door.
Most of us early learn to understand
that we can have nothing worth having
without making some exertion to OBJ
tain it, but how many men expect the
four square walls of q house to grow
into home without any forethought
or exertion on their part, and blame
fate, or their wives, if they do not.
Now, given a certain amount of time
and opportunity, and it certainly is a
woman's fault or her failing, if she do
not evolve therefrom considerable
amount of home-likeness inside the
house. But manifestly, busy work
ing woman with her ceaseless round of
never-ending indoor duties, duties
which, in their very nature can never
be done, should never be called upon
to go into the garden, except as rec
reation. If woman be an idler, far
be it from us to object to her doing the
manual labor of making garden, but
if she takes her part inside, do not
wait for her tired hands to do man S
work outside. Hence let the woman
see to the house and the man to the
garden, and both doing their duty,
home life will become the swceter for

Mr.. Howes remembers them ALL al

a davis Journey to meet them and talk
over old times. He rejects the popular
notion that show men. on women either,

his day, and has lost not "A bit of his
Youthful enthusiasm. Some years age
he visited Barnum here in Chicago.
Thomas Cooke, of the famous English
circus family, is still alive at the age Of
eighty-three. He came to America
with a company in 1882. John j. Ma
thans. the four-horse rider, is alive at II
great age. Moses Lipman, famous
vaulter, is now, at the age OF seventy
or more. pawnbroker in Cincinnati.
In the same city lives John Robinson,
once a four-horse rider. now at the
age of seventy-six a millionaire real
estate owner He was the first to
take circus into Texas. He was the
tutor of Jim Robinson, the famous
rider. Cadwall adler, another great
rider, married rich Quakeress, with
whom he is spending his declining
years in Philadelphia. Levi North, be-
fore mentioned, died not long ago. He
was the first man to turn somer-
sault from feet to feet on horses back.
Ex-Gov. Ludington. of Wisconsin, has
been mentioned. He was once in
partnership with Mr.. Howe's brother.
The first circus men in this country
came from England. Among the
earliest arrivals were George Yeaman,
Samuel Tapner, and George Hunter.
all OF whom were famous in the first
two decades of this century. But the
Americans soon caught on, Mr..
Howes says, and soon surpassed the
Britons. Even in the early days the
riders and tumblers received good sal
aries. Howes & Gushing paid Jim
Robinson f40 week, besides the ex-
penses of himself, servant and a
horse. The great riders all have what
is known as a natural balance" with

Descendants of nearly all these vet
brands are in the ring to-day. Mr..
Howes himself has three nephews with

is far off when one or another mem Der

the fact. Chicago Letter.

A Goose Gets Married for Fun.

Notwithstanding the many bad re-
suits of marrying in fun the practice
still goes on, and most probably will go
on as long as human dupes can be
found to keep it up. The latest case of
this kind that has come to notice oc-
Cured in the town of Tabor, Mimi,
some months ago. A party of young
folks met at the house of friend to
have a good time. Among them was
Miss Mary Kovar, IL local reigning
belle of tender years and much beauty.
Among them also was Charles Vanek.
a grizzely old bachelor. A Justice OF
the Peace was also present and IN 3
spirit of fun suggested mock marriage
between Vanek and Miss Kovar. The
suggestion met with much favor, as it
would give tone and responsibility
to the gathering. The ceremony was
performed, and the Justice issued u
certificate. This was all fun. but il
wasn't so much fun when in few
months afterwards, Vanek called upon
Miss Kovar and insisted that she should
return home with him and be Installed
as the mistress of his shanty. The
young lady became frightened, denied
that she was his legal wife, and said thai
she was only acting in fun. Vanek
however, thinks differently, and h;p
given notice to all young men in thu
settlement to keep away from his wife
while he proposes to test the legality o
the marriage III the courts. - Whining

FREEMAsoNs WILL REJOICE.

FREEMASONS WILL nCoOiCC
More Than S25O,OOO Raised by Thu
Grand Lodge of New York.
The approaching session of the Crane
lodge of Free and Accepted Masons O
the state of New York will be a mos
satisfactory one to all concerned. The
fraternity is numerically on the in
crease, and the .turning-point in the
payment Of the heavy debt with which
the Masons of this state have for so
many years been burdened has been
passed. When Frank r. Lawrence.
the present grand master of Masons in
this state. assumed the grand cast two
years ago debt of 1886, 900 rested up
on the temple property. and large
share OF the annual revenue OF the
fraternity had to be devoted to the
payment of the interest OF this enof-
nous debt. Grand Master Lawrence
undertook the fclf-imposed task OF pay
ing off this heavy debt. The majority
of the members of the craft looked up
on the debt-paying movement not only
with apathy, but with absolute GOODNESS,
and for time it seemed as though the
project would die Of inanition. Mr..
Lawrence fortunately was surrounded
by staff of officers who believed in
him, and who, in their respective
spheres of action, exhibited the same
untiring energy and labor which char
acterized their chief. Every Masonic
district In the state was personally Wis
tied by the grand master, who made
the extinguishment of the temple
debt the sole theme OF his numerous
addresses, and in short time the seed
thus sown bore fruit. The lodges be-
gan TO realize that the payment of the
debt and the consequent abolition of
the annual tax imposed upon them was
not only possible, but would in the near
future be reality, and Revision Of
scntimen. most satisfactory TO the
grand master Immediately set in. Many
Of the lodges promptly paid in their
quoto of sc per capita of the debt; luke
warm lodges felt the impulse and did
likewise, and many individual contri-
buttons poured in. After eighteen
months OF inccssant labor over a quar-
ter of million of dollars has been
raised and more is still coming in. The
great success attending the movement
for the payment of the temple debt
gave birth 10 the idea that the time had
arrived for establishing the Masonic
home and asylum which was the dream
Of the Masons for the past generation
and TO the building and support of
which the revenues OF the temple prop
erty were TO be devoted. After serious
and mature deliberations however, it
was determined that 1t would be unwise
10 assume second debt while The first
or any portion Of it remained unpaid,
and the craft conceded in the determl
nation of the grand master that moth
ing should be done in the matter until
the last dollar OF the temple debt had
been paid. II is the feeling of the or
der that Mr., Lawrence shall remain at
the head of tho fraternity, at least un-
til the debt is paid, so great is the
confidence in his executive ability.
These expressions Of the bretheren have
been marked, and it is felt that the
grand master can not do otherwise
than defer to the unanimous wish of
the members of the fraternity and re-
main at the helm. ---Ne,o York World,
